This book presents a collection of speeches delivered by Antonio Salandra, Prime Minister of Italy during the tumultuous years of World War I. These speeches, delivered between 1914 and 1922, provide a firsthand account of Italy's evolving stance towards the war, its motivations for entering the conflict, and its aspirations for the postwar era. Opening with Salandra's declaration of Italy's neutrality in 1914, the speeches demonstrate his careful consideration of the country's interests and his belief in the importance of maintaining peace. However, as the war progressed and Italy's allies faced increasing pressure, Salandra began to advocate for intervention, arguing that Italy had a duty to defend its national interests and secure its rightful place among the great powers. The book delves into the complex negotiations and diplomatic maneuvering that preceded Italy's entry into the war, shedding light on the challenges and sacrifices that the country faced. It also explores the domestic political landscape of Italy during this period, highlighting the debates and divisions that accompanied the decision to go to war. Through Salandra's words, readers gain a deeper understanding of the motivations and aspirations that shaped Italy's role in the conflict and its lasting impact on the nation.
